UWM Holdings Corporation Announces Pricing of Upsized Offering of $1.0 Billion of 6.250% Senior Notes Due 2031

UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UWMC) (“UWMC”) announced today that its direct subsidiary, UWM Holdings, LLC (“UWM Holdings”), priced its offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $600 million. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by UWM Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC (“United Wholesale Mortgage”), and will rank pari passu in right of payment with United Wholesale Mortgage’s existing senior unsecured notes by virtue of such guarantee. UWM Holdings expects the closing of the Notes to occur on September 16, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes will have an interest rate of 6.250% and will be issued at a price of 100% of their face value.

UWM Holdings expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to (i) repay the 5.5% Senior Notes due 2025 at maturity on November 15, 2025, (ii) pay down amounts outstanding under the MSR Facilities and (iii) the remainder, if any, for working capital.

The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction. This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell any of the Notes or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
